Kelly Toiletry Drive

Every year, Kelly Funeral Homes throughout Ottawa organize a huge toiletry drive on behalf of Shepherds of Good Hope.

So one day a year after the collection has been made, our driver goes around to each funeral home and collects the toiletries.  As always, they cease to amaze us with their collection for the homeless.

Toiletries such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, and shampoo are being used by the 350 individuals who sleep in our programs every night. Toiletries are so necessary in the lives of the homeless.

Thank you to Kelly Funeral Homes and the generous donors.
